Six degrees of Wikipedia

[Flying Mullet]

This is a fun little game I thought up of while I was browsing around on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/">Wikipedia</a> over lunch and is similar to the <i>Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon</i>. I'll post two random pages from Wikipedia, and the goal is to figure out the quickest way to link from the first page to the second page.

Example
Page 1: Diablo II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Page 2: Final Fantasy VI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I made it in 4 "clicks":
Diablo II -> Rock N' Roll Racing -> Super Nintendo Entertainment System -> Final Fantasy V -> Final Fantasy VI

The rules are simple:
- You can only use in-page links, nothing from the left-hand side-bar/navigation can be used.
- You can't edit a page to put a link in. You must use the page as it appears in the browser.
- You can't use dates. This refers to a specific calendar date, day, month, year or any related links, like 1990s or 20th century.


Now, for the first page pairing:
Page 1: Tony Blair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Page 2: Final Fantasy VII - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That was too easy.

Tony Blair -> 2007 -> 1990s -> Final Fantasy -> Final Fantasy VII

Only 4 clicks

Edit: Forgot to add one of the links I used. Oops.

And you changed it from 3 to 4 clicks. :p
Sounded fun until qwertyxsora got it so fast. :/

[NeoTifa]

i got tony blair -> 1997 -> video gaming -> ff7

[blackmage_nuke]

Ive played a similar game except i get the article on the front page and try to relate it to sex with only clicking the links availabe at the top without scrolling.

Sorry, I was talking to someone at the same time as I was typing, so I put 3 instead of 4 links.

If you can just go to year pages, that'll probably make everything really easy. xP

[Flying Mullet]

Good call. We'll add a rule that you can't use any form of dates.

How about:
Page 1: Porsche 64 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Page 2: Piranha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yeah using years is pretty inane.

Anyway I did it with no years, Tony Blair > Socialist > Japan > Music of Japan > Nobuo Uematsu > Final Fantasy VII.

Done with no dates

Porsche 64
Monterey, California
Pacific Ocean
Hydrosphere
River
Amazon River
Piranha

six clicks

[chionos]

Porsche 64 >> Monterey, CA >> Monterey Bay Aquarium >> freshwater >> freshwater fish >> piranha
5 clicks, prolly a way to do it w/ 4 but i couldn't find it

ack, i missed one:
Porsche 64 >> Monterey, CA >> Monterey Bay Aquarium >> aquarium >> freshwater >> freshwater fish >> piranha
so, 6, however:

Porsche 64 >> Monterey, CA >> Monterey Bay Aquarium >> aquarium >> list of freshwater aquarium fish species >> piranha

so back to 5 again

This is how I did it;

Porsche 64 -> Monterey CA -> Fishing -> Fish -> Piranha (The Movie) -> Piranha

That'd be five clicks I believe.

I also managed this one, but I took a clue off of chionos so I'm not sure if it's allowed;

Porsche 64 -> Monterey CA -> Fishery -> List of Freshwater Fish -> Piranha

[Flying Mullet]

Porsche 64 >> Monterey, CA >> Monterey Bay Aquarium >> aquarium >> list of freshwater aquarium fish species >> piranha

so back to 5 again

There's a link to Aquarium on the Monterey, California page.
Porsche 64 >> Monterey, CA >> aquarium >> list of freshwater aquarium fish species >> piranha


EDIT:

How about:
Page 1: Wallaby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Page 2: Baseball glove - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edczxcvbnm]

Wallaby > Hawaii > United States > Baseball > Baseball clothing and equipment > Baseball glove

5 clicks

[Raistlin]

Easy, 4 clicks.

Wallaby > Rugby Union > Baseball > Baseball Glove
